Even inside the ugliness people are watching: the swarming crowds are rushing, ignoring the grime,

making for pleasant suburbs, going home: eager to shut the door, relax at last.

The varied pictures draw us to the centre of life: the crown of all creation, aim for hope.

There are so many here in need, I want to help: how may I work with people, offering care?

Jesus was also a pilgrim, Jerusalem bound: you loved Zion too, making the journey.

Show us the marks of your presence, obvious and deadly: so we may continue in faithfulness here in the city.
